Laufey Corrects Photographer Calling Her Megan at Golden Globes

Laufey would prefer if you got her name right from the start, but she’s happy to correct you. 

As the jazz singer (full name Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir) stepped out on the Golden Globes 2026 red carpet Jan. 11 in a bold orange Balenciaga gown, she corrected photographers who continuously called her “Megan.”

“My name isn’t Megan,” Laufey corrected, laughing slightly in a video shared by Deadline on social media. “So, I don’t know…” (For more stars on the Golden Globes 2026 red carpet, see here.)

The photographers expressed surprise at the revelation, with one yelling, “Oh!” prompting Laufey to burst out laughing before moving up the stairs into the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, where host Nikki Glaser will host the 83rd annual ceremony, which is set to air on CBS and stream live on Paramount+.

And while photographers might have stumbled when capturing a photo of Laufey’s red carpet moment, the “From the Start” singer was perfectly on-theme, sporting a color reminiscent of one of tonight’s Best Picture nominees, Marty Supreme.
